I, too thought of the re-entry. I read a bit about it this morning. You can go to this site for a bit more info: http://www.avweb.com/newswire/news0249a.html#3 Scroll down to "The Outer Limits". Brent --- Joe Borgione <jborgion@yahoo.com> wrote:
A buddy of mine saw it while visiting family in Grand Junction Colorado. He heard rumors that it might have been a booster motor casing doing the re-entry thing; I'll ask him if he's heard any more.

Anyone else?

Richard, One of my co-workers saw something interesting Thanksgiving evening while driving near Park City. It was very bright, fell behind the mountain line then produced 2 bright flashes (from ground impact?) Details: Thursday, November 28, 2002 About 6:30 P.M. MST (give or take 10 minutes? fully dark) On I-80 between Jeremy Ranch and Park City exits, traveling roughly East. Seen slightly to the right of straight ahead (East to SouthEast?) Maybe as bright as the moon, more yellow with a white center. Had a tail of about thumb to finger at arms length (2-3 degrees?) Appeared low (possibly just visibility obscured by car roof?) falling straight down. Dropped below a distant ridge line and produced 2 flashes far less than a second apart Subjective judgements of questionable value: Ridge line distance was estimated at 10 miles by one viewer and 30 miles by another. (probably less in that area?) Object size estimated to be the size of 3 houses
I would like to know if anyone else saw anything there that night, if there are any ideas of what it was, and if anyone has tried to find an impact site and/or debris. My co-worker would appreciate any information you can supply. Thanks, Spencer
